Not just defective, but annoyingly so.
X-Men and the Avengers appear equally good answers. X-Men meets the 37-year criterion but is a year off on the release date, Avengers hits the release date but was only 36 years old at that point. We're going with Avengers on the thought that some moran double-counted the endpoints when looking at the years.

06-25-2004, 12:05 PM

Heat-related deaths outpace fatalities in several other severe weather categories. Based on a 10-year average from 1992-2001, excessive heat claimed 219 lives each year. By contrast, floods killed 88; tornadoes, 57; lightning, 52; and hurricanes, 15. Be aware of dangerous heat conditions by following NWS's Mean Heat Index.

That blurb (with a broken link), is here (http://www.nws.noaa.gov/headline_archive.php) on the National Weather Service page. So yeah, it's definitely summer.
